Remove the "snapshot too old" feature.
Remove the old_snapshot_threshold setting and mechanism for producing the error "snapshot too old", originally added by commit 848ef42b. Unfortunately it had a number of known problems in terms of correctness and performance, mostly reported by Andres in the course of his work on snapshot scalability. We agreed to remove it, after a long period without an active plan to fix it. This is certainly a desirable feature, and someone might propose a new or improved implementation in the future.
